Minnesota Mosque Hit by Early-Morning Explosion
The New York Times’s Nick Corasaniti reports, “An early-morning blast rocked the Dar Al Farooq mosque in Bloomington, Minn., on Saturday, as worshipers had just begun to gather inside for morning prayers.” Although no injuries were reported, the building’s front window and blinds were damaged. Corasaniti writes, “While the police had not determined a motive, community members and interfaith leaders of various congregations responded to the episode as yet another attack on a Muslim place of worship.”
